Is it just me, or was Saturday - the so-called "Summer Solstice" - no, infact, the longest-day of the year 2003??


I was outside at about 9:30pm, and it was almost pitch-black.

Yet, several days before Saturday, I had been able to go outside at gone-10:00pm, and there would still be a little bit of light around...?


And it's not like ONLY mornings can get shorter or longer, so, maybe they did get the wrong day, and the 21st of June WASN'T, actually, the longest day of daylight hours, like they all seemed to think??



Anyway, what do you think?

Is it just me, or did it really get dark earlier on Saturday night?

It's the Druids - with all their human sacrifices - bringing an unnatural darkness upon the land.

Beware of bearded dreamers.

It must have been because Derek Acorah went on a ghost hunt and even though they didn't find any ghosts they found the spirit of a raggedy midget but it was longest day of the year because Derek said so and they wouldn't have done gone ghotly hunting if it wasn't not the summer solstice.
